BREST DRAMA GERMINAL,
READ IT, SEE IT IN FILMS
Tho Atlanta Georgian, The Sunday American and Pat he
Freres are collaborating, by special arrangement, in a plan to
amuse, entertain and educate the people of Atlanta by the joint
production of moving pictures. Each day The Georgian and
American will print a story in short, complete novelette form,
and the next day the story may be seen at a local theater, trans
formed into a photoplay by the Patlm players, the most famous in
the world.
In The Georgian to-day is printed the fourth installment of
Emile Zola’s powerful novel, “Germinal.’’ which now is being pre
pared for production in the great Pathe studios in New York. The
story is one of the most enthralling of all the great Frenchman's
novels, and experts who are watching the production of the play
predict that it. will be one of the most marvelous photo dramas
of the century. The story will be told in five reels, with elaborate
Staging and consummate acting. By reading the story in The Geor
gian and American before you see tho play you will get a greater
grasp of the situations and appreciate more fully the power ami
beauty of the play.

CHAPTER 111.
The Strike Begins.
N this particular Monday
the Hennebeau* had the
Gregoires and their da ugh-
Cecily, to breakfast. Quite
a paF|y had been arranged Af
ter breakfast Paul Negri I was to
take the ladies over St. Thomas,
a new pi|, or rather <>ne newly
reopened, with all the latest me
chanical improvement!. But all
this was nothing more than a
pretty pretext. This party was
the invention of Mme. Henne
beau, to hasten the marriage of
Paul and Cecily.
And just on that very Monday,
4 in tho morning, the strike
had abruptly broken out. When,
on the Ist of December the com
pany had applied Its new tariff
and system the miners had ref
malned cairn At the end of the
fortnight, when paid not one of

t innately great on recelv’ng his
declaration of war. showing tac
tics and a power of organization
that seemed to indicate an ener
getic guidance.
Great Strike Begins.
At 5 o’clock Dansaert came
personally to awaken M. Hanne
beau and to tell him that not a
single man had gone down the
Voreaux pit. The village of the
•‘Two Hundred and Forty,” when
he passed through it, was fast
asleep, its doors and windows
securely locked And the moment
the director had jumped out of
bed, his eyes heavy with sleep,
he was overwhelmed on every
side. Every quarter of an hour
messengers ran up; telegrams
kept pouring in like a hail
storm.
Al first he had hoped that the
revolt was confined to the Voreux
pit, hut the news became more
serious at each minute. At the
Crevesoeur and Marion pits the
work was stopped; at the Made
leine none but the stablemen had
gone down; at the Victoire and
Feutry-Cantel, the two best dis
ciplined pits, the men were re
duced by a third; at St. Thomas
only every one was at his post
—its men seemed to have re
mained outside the movement.
Until 9 o'clock he dictated tele
grams to everybody and to every
where—to the Prefect of Lille, to
the members of the company's
board, informing the authorities,
asking for instructions. He had
sent Negrel on a tour of inspec
tion to the neighboring pits in or
der to have authentic particu
lars. All at once M Hennebeau
"■Remembered the breakfast, and

to th? Gregoires to tell them that
the piirty was off, when a sud
den hesitation! a want of resolve,

who had just lil A brief
phrases prepared hifl campaign
with almost military promptitude
He went up to the dressing room
of Mme. Hennebeau, whose maid
was just putting the finishing
touches to her hair.
Insists on the Breakfast.
“Indeed, they have struck.” shP
said, very tranquilly, when he had
consulted her. ‘Well, what is (hat
to u.. 9 We are not going to slop
eating on their account, are we?”
And to all he could say about
the breakfast being interrupted,
perhaps, about the projected visit
to the pit having become impos
sible. she had a ready answer.
Why spoil a breakfast that was
already on the fire’’ And as for
the excursion to the pit. if the
thing seemed Impossible, they
might abandon the idea after

"Resides.” she added, when her
maid wan gone, "you know well
enough why I wish to have these
good folk here This marriage
ought to concern you much more
than all the nonsense of your
workmen. And and I wish It. so
there's an end of it, and don't
contradict me."
He lo.»ked at her. his lips quiv
ering slightly, the features < f the
•tern and resolute disciplinarian
showing fur a few seconds the
secret grief of a broken heart.
She had remained seated before
the glass, her shoulders bare, in
the fully mature, but still re
splendent. beauty of the woman

Husband's Hard Struggle.
Hennebeau was born in the Ar
dennes His start in life had been
difficult, like that of most poor,
young orphans thrown or. their
own resources in Paris After
having, by dint of great priva
tions. managed to attend the
courses of the Mining Institute,
he had. at the age of 24. obtained
appointment of engineer t<»

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.
When Stephen Lantler, his friend
Maheu and the other coal miners of
Voreux go to the mine offices to draw
their fortnightly wages they are as
tounded to find a notice posted an
nouncing a reduction In their scale of
pay. This is a crushing blow to
the miners, for by toiling long hours
and taking their wives and children
into the mines to work with them
they are able under the present scale
to earn barely enough to keep body
and soul together. Before they have

\ growing spirit of Irritation had
estranged Mme. tlannebean from
her husband. Brought up in the
worship of money, she despised
this man, who painfully earned
his m >dest salary, and from whom
she derived none of the mundane j
and social satisfactions dreamed
of during her school days. He,
strictly honest, did not speculate,
but stuck to his post like a sol

aggravated by differences of tem

she had purged herself of her pro

adopted those of the born Paris

lies of the period.
Again Wearies of Marriage.
The contrary almost happened.
During the three years that they
had been a» Montsou the weari
ness and irritation of their first
marriage life hail recommenced.
\t first Madame Hennebeau had
appeared relieved by the pro
found quietude around her, Ant
ing comfort In the unbroken mo
notony of this immense plain.
She shut herself up like a woman
who had done with life; she
pretended to he heartbroken, ho
utterly indifferent to » very thing
that even the prospect of getting
stout did not affect her. Then,
beneath this indifference, another
attack of mundane fever declared
itself a revived craving to return
to thG world once more, which she
endeavored to beguile for six
months by organizing and fur
bishing to her taste the small
mansion allotted to the director.
She said it was odious to her in
Its present state, and began to nil
It with tapestry and knick
knacks, with sumptuous acces

which spread as far as Lille. Aft

and disgusted her. Lamentations

thousand dollars, a mere pit
tance, and scarcely sufficient to
keep the house going Why did
not ho take example by others

Why did not he claim some

Just at that time Paul Negrel
came to Montsou. His mother,
the widow of a captain in the
army, living at Avignon, her hus
band’s birthplace, on the slender
est of incomes, had condemned
herself to the greatest privations
